Formula brief or customer-provided physical sample

Custom fragrance development built around your target.

Choose the route that matches your starting material. Scope, sample stages, revisions, fee and timing are confirmed after review, then the approved fragrance can move into production in our own factory.

Two custom starting points

Begin with a formula brief or a physical sample.

These are two ways to define a Custom Fragrance target. Both are reviewed before the development scope and sample quotation are confirmed.

01

Concept-led route

Formula brief development

For a new scent direction defined by your customer, market and product positioning rather than an existing physical fragrance.

Best for
Original brand concepts and new launches
Starting material
Written creative or formula brief
First decision
Target family, notes, performance and position
02

Sample-led route

Customer-provided physical sample

For a fragrance sample you are authorized to provide as the sensory target, subject to feasibility and handling review.

Best for
Existing concepts that require sample-led evaluation
Starting material
Physical fragrance sample supplied by the customer
First decision
Feasibility, required quantity and shipping route

What to provide

Give the team a usable development target.

The clearer the sensory and commercial target, the easier it is to define the development scope, sample stages and quotation.

Formula brief

Describe the fragrance you want to create.

  • Target customer and destination market
  • Scent family, important notes, mood and intended use
  • Strength, diffusion, longevity and concentration target
  • Price position, estimated quantity and launch timing
  • Packaging direction when already known
Physical sample

Confirm the sample route before shipping.

  • What the sample represents and what should change
  • Confirmation that you are authorized to provide it
  • Target market, concentration and performance
  • Estimated production quantity and launch timing
  • Required sample quantity, recipient and shipping instructions

Do not ship before confirmation. Contact sales first so the required amount, destination and handling route can be agreed.

Development sequence

Define, evaluate, refine and approve.

The number of samples or revisions is not assumed. It is agreed with the scope before Custom Fragrance development begins.

  1. 01Submit the starting point

    Send the formula brief or discuss the physical-sample delivery route.

  2. 02Confirm feasibility and scope

    Align the target, concentration, market, sample stages, fee and expected timing.

  3. 03Evaluate the proposed sample

    Review the opening, heart, dry-down, overall character and performance.

  4. 04Provide structured feedback

    Identify what should be stronger, softer, cleaner, warmer or otherwise adjusted.

  5. 05Approve the fragrance

    Lock the direction and concentration before finished-product quotation and production.

Custom development terms

Quoted after the target and scope are reviewed.

Custom Fragrance development does not use a fixed public development fee. The quotation reflects the starting material, target, sample stages and agreed feedback scope.

  • Sample stages and revision scope
  • Development fee and expected timing
  • Feedback and approval process
  • Ownership, exclusivity and reuse terms
  • Available formula and project documents

The public US$50 / 10 ml offer, with shipping included, applies only to one Dupe fragrance sample.

Commercial and rights boundary

Confirm the scope before development begins.

Sampling stages, revisions, fee, timing, ownership, exclusivity, reuse rights and available documents are defined in the commercial quotation or contract. Exclusivity is not assumed unless it is explicitly agreed.

Independent product identity: only provide materials you are authorized to share. Finished naming, artwork and packaging must use your own brand identity and must not reproduce third-party trademarks or branded trade dress.

Choose your starting point

Submit the brief or discuss the physical sample.

Include the destination market, estimated quantity and target launch timing so the team can define the practical next step.
